NEW: Homelessness is at a record high, and there are many investigative stories to tell. We’ve compiled some of the tips and lessons we learned from our sources for other reporters pursuing this coverage.

Citing an urgency to protect students’ civil rights in a second Trump administration, Illinois lawmakers filed a new bill Monday that would explicitly prevent school police from ticketing and fining students for misbehavior. @jodiscohen.bsky.social @jsmithrichards.bsky.social

For 2 years, aid groups have operated a camp providing food, water and first aid to people crossing the border in a treacherous southern Arizona wilderness area. Weeks before Trump took office they were told to leave. For now, they’re staying put. “We are following God’s executive order,” one said.

If you were wondering why it took years for these preventable deaths under abortion bans to become public, it’s because it took a team of committed journalists to uncover them, deapite states having all the tools to do so www.propublica.org/article/abor...

Some personal news: I am very excited to be joining ProPublica as an investigative reporter covering national security and technology starting in January.

Short of impoundments, the admin may test all sorts of ways to kill programs they don't like. Grants getting held up indefinitely. Funding rules suddenly shifting. If you work in federal government and spot these kinds of changes, reach out: www.propublica.org/article/seco...

Following a @propublica.org and @mainemonitor.bsky.social investigation, the Maine Department of Health and Human Services has proposed significantly increasing staffing requirements for assisted living and residential care regulations, among other changes.

And hey, if you didn't know ticketing at school was a thing, we can catch you up! Check out the stories that Jodi and I have written as part of "The Price Kids Pay."
